After missing Monday’s pre-season opener with a sprained left ankle, WR Plaxico Burress was back on the practice field at training camp on Wednesday. Aside from a few plays last week, Burress took part in team drills for the first time since signing with Gang Green.

Burress was on the field for 12 of 22 plays during 11 on 11 team drills but did not take part in the 2 minute drill. He had one pass thrown his way during team drills. With Antonio Cromartie on coverage, Burress made a reception on a hitch route near the left sideline and cut to the middle and up the field.

During individual drills, Burress made a spectacular one handed catch going up and using his entire 6’5” frame.

After practice, head coach Rex Ryan declared that Plaxico was back and Burress said he expects to play Sunday against the Bengals.

Center Nick Mangold practiced. Head coach Rex Ryan expects that Mangold (stinger) will play Sunday but he will be monitored throughout the week.

I thought this was a funny sight during the morning walkthrough as Darrelle Revis was “under center” calling out offensive signals and mimicking a quarterback. I don’t know if Revis ever played quarterback in organized football but given his athletic ability, would you be surprised if he could sling a few passes?

Don’t worry Jets fans! It may have just been a goof or maybe he was just showing off his leadership abilities after recently being named a captain.

CLOSED TODAY, OPEN TOMORROW

Wednesday’s practice was supposed to be open to fans but was closed to the public.

Perhaps it was because Plaxico Burress made his return but it was off limits to the general public. Don’t worry! Thursday and Friday’s practices are open to the public!

That’s all for now! The Jets return to the practice field on Thursday. Check back soon for more!
